The space of the workshop, which, paradoxically, is thought in terms of the psychic space of schizophrenic patients by playing on its borderless quality, creates a continuity between the psychiatric hospital and the external world, and thus helps to prevent the segregation and isolation of such patients. This continuity is established on the basis of both the physical architecture of the workshop setting and the practice of dancing itself. The authors explore the hypothesis that, inside the particular space made possible by the apparatus of the workshop, schizophrenic patients benefit from the experience of movement, beginning with the pulse of rhythm, which establishes a consistency in time. By means of its repetitive character, the beat of music, like movement, accompanies and promotes the experience of continuity, which is the condition for any possible form of symbolizing. Two brief clinical illustrations show how this approach to dance therapy allows a moribund jouissance to be overturned and transformed into the aesthetic jouissance that characterizes the experience of dance.

This workshop allowed different modes of transference to unfold: transference to the ana-lyst–therapist, transference to the writer who led the workshop, and transference to the other members of the group. The writing activity created conditions in which there could be a movement from hallucination to delusion—a delusion expressed in fiction through the act of writing. Psychotic patients " invent " a writing that remains unfinished and that relates to the experiences of persecution. Writing thus makes it possible for them to tolerate language, through its transformation into writing. We will explore the function of writing in psychosis on the basis of the case of a young psychotic woman, Ariane, who was 21 years old when she began psychotherapeutic treatment at a centre médi-co-psychologique, a type of community-based, publicly funded clinic in which professionals from a variety of fields (including psychiatrists , psychologists, nurses, social workers, and occupational and speech therapists) provide outpatient and in-home care. As we will see, Ariane's participation in a writing workshop held in the ward where she was hospitalized helped her to move from hallucinations to the creation of narratives that made use of the same themes. We will seek to show the extent to which this workshop played a determining role in this process. A psychotic person, uncomfortable with speaking, can use writing as a means of expression and of connecting with the outside world—even, perhaps of jouissance. But, in the case to be presented here, it was not the writing itself that functioned in these ways. It was writing undertaken in a specific space—the workshop— Translated by John Holland.
